I know I need to adjust it to my own preference. With the seat riser left in the cab I'm curious as to what the total seat height is.... from the floor board to the top of the seat bottom.......... Just a general measurement.
I have a set of 79 Camaro bucket seats that I can take out of a Camaro but I think they set low and I'll need to put some square tubing under them...or I may not even like them once I get them in. I think the seat backs will be to high.
So again, what do you consider the "average" height from floorboard to the top of the seat bottom. Thanks guys.

Im a short person,5'5, and its comfortable and i can see out good. The seat I used was from a 94 Dodge Dakota bench and i made my own seat risers out of angle iron. The original seat riser had cancer like the floorboard did so i used flat metal to make my floorboard. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Thanks, 49chevtrcknIN for measuring for me.

I thought it would be neat to go with a old school paint job that something you would see on American Graffiti. The air brush for a shadow effect was done at the last minute. I had that scheme in my head for 2 years before I had it painted and during that time several people kept on saying that it wouldn't look right but i told them it would as it will flow good with the color combination. | | |
